Dental Acupuncture - Post Foundation Course (NW190917A)

Testimonial

I have discovered a passion for acupuncture. I hope to continue developing my skills, and can see that acupuncture will become a key part of my everyday practice. Dave makes the subject very accessible and enjoyable. The course was fun, and we covered a lot of material.

Combination of both theory and practical hands on elements will enable delegates to deepen their knowledge and confidence in practicing dental acupuncture safely. Delegates will also enhance treatment planning and needling skills for conditions of head and neck area such as Xerostomia, TMJ related migraines, atypical facial pain and burning mouth syndrome

This session can only be taken by delegates who attended the dental acupuncture foundation course. 

Registration from 9 am. 

This session includes a practical element in which you will have the opportunity to practice acupuncture needling.

Important information for Dental Nurses: It has been brought to our attention that not all indemnity providers are able to offer cover for dental nurses practicing acupuncture under the prescription of a dentist. If you are attending this course with the intention of being able to practice acupuncture within the dental setting it may be advisable that you check with your indemnity provider before attending.

Catering

A selection of vegetarian/non vegetarian options will be made available, however please be aware that we are unable to cater for special dietary requirements such as Gluten Free, Nut Allergy, Vegan. We therefore suggest that delegates bring their own food if you have a specialist requirement.
